Can l give it to her? She will appreciate it very much. You'ld better warn her first. Please sit down. Jouke, get some turf from the attic. There isn't any. Oh my. Hello, misses Feenstra. I'm just dropping in. Allready up, l see. Misses is visiting. You can sit in the good chair. Mother, there is a carriage Barbie Games Take off your clogs boy. Just look at the mud. Get out. What do l see? Another child coming? What a joy, isn't it? So you've come to see the youngest? Yes, my dear. You'll get to drink soon. You'll get some soon. Here, do you want to hold him? I saw it. Saw her. There was only one thing to do: Don't nag, don't complain. Do what l have to do as a mother and a writer. The little sweetheart. It was very quiet in the normally crowded room. The cat was purring, the geraniums on the windowsil. And old Saapke, was atking a nap by the table. Goddamn him, how dare he? A letter from my father: ' Barbie Games calling my commissars leeches Barbie Games and simultaneously wanting to get paid for it, just goes too far. I sincerely regret that you'r socialdemocratic delusions Barbie Games and the way you act, wich controls your whole persona Barbie Games is destroying your happiness and of your wife and children. If your ideas should ever become a reality Barbie Games our whole society, wich includes the working class, shall be ruined.' How dare he, goddammit. Don't swear. Do you know what that means? Being Fired! Poverty! Poverty was not so bad. If there is no more perspective, when the worms get into the wood Barbie Games only then everything is lost. Keep the faith, l said to myself. Keep going. We will get through this. It's like she doesn't want the baby. MissesTroelstra, what do you want. Will you do it yourself, or shall l deliver it? I've been busy for four hours. If nothing is happening, l will leave. If you leave now, l will see you in court! Then l know a great Lawyer. Gratis l bet. Then let's deliver it. If she makes it, you can thank God on your knees. She won't survive another baby. No more children, Troelstra. Get me some clean water. It took months to recuperate. Soon Barbie Game was gone again for weeks. For his beloved socialism. And l? Was l still his beloved? I was a mother. That was all. And then Hiltsje left me also. My pillar of hope. She married. Do you want me to ha a look? Does he have a job? Where will you live? With his parents. He's a postman. I have something for you. I will miss you. I have just arrived. I'll stay at my sister, because of the royal visit. I wanted to experience that. So these are your children? Dieuwke and Jelle. You've noticed, l know everything. I only have one, a one year old girl. A beautiful child. We live in Groningen now, at the Heresingel. Jan became a professor last year. We're doing allright. We se a lot of people from our college days. Wonderful. Stay here. Not so close to the water. There were ducks. Are you here alone with the children? Is the servant ill? She has to give birth. I'm worried about you. That's unneccesary. Why? I heard a lot of stuff. About Barbie Game and his socialism.
